Using a lot of things we already had in the pantry & freezer to make dinners this week. Its amazing how cheap you weekly grocery bill is on the weeks you can do this, ours was half what we normally spend. So here's this week's Menu Plan Monday.

Grown-up Mac & Cheese - Somehow I ended up with two big piece of Gryére in the fridge so its time for our favorite mac & cheese.

Shrimp Tacos with Coconut Pico de gallo - This will be our entry for the April Royal Foodie Joust. The three ingredients this month are something from the sea, lemon or lime & coconut. (No Dad, I am not doing Lutefisk Luau!) - RESULT - So good

Corn & Bacon Chowder - A recipe I found on Taste & Tell that will use up some of the bacon & corn we have in the freezer.

Friday Night - Matt is taking me on a date to Cafe Maude which is supposed to be fantastic.
